A 27-year-old software engineer, Yuvraj Mehta, died after his car plunged into a water-filled excavation pit in Greater Noida's Sector 150 amid dense fog, with rescue efforts hampered by delays and inadequate equipment. Family and eyewitnesses have questioned the lack of road safety measures and official indifference. An FIR has been filed against two real estate developers following the incident.
Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu said on Monday that the government will curtail IndiGo's winter flight schedule due to recent large-scale operational disruptions and reallocate slots to other operators. He noted that refunds of ₹745 crore have been issued for 7,30,655 cancelled PNRs from December 1 to 8. Bag deliveries are also progressing rapidly.
